Slightly shorter but equally beguiling, the 10-day “Gems of Northern Italy” also begins in Milan, giving you plenty of time to explore the country’s picture-perfect northern cities before discovering the treasures of Venice.

Here you’ll be treated to an exclusive evening at St Mark’s Basilica, with plenty of time to discover the charm of seaside Chioggia, enjoy local culinary specialities and stroll around Venice’s outer islands, including Burano, Mazzorbo and Torcello.
